I am not a fan of talk shows, but I am a fan of Ellen
DeGeneres. She's cute, she's funny, and she doesn't use put down humor – at
least that I've seen. She is also, like Michael J. Fox, an incurable optimist.
Since I do most of my reading at night, in bed, before sleep, I want something
that won't give me nightmares when I turn off the lights, and if I get laughs
in my dreams, so much the better.

Ellen has a lot to say in this book. I haven't read her
others, but they are now on my list. If it is possible to feel better for
having read a book, I feel better for having read this one! This book is
hilariously laugh out loud funny, it is uplifting, and there are a few nuggets
of gold sprinkled throughout. Including, I think, The Secret. Since she shared
it with her readers, I'm going to quote it here:

"Happiness comes from within. You have the power to
change your own mind-set so that all the negative, horrible thoughts that try
to invade your psyche are replaced with happy, positive, wonderful
thoughts." She goes on to state
that, "Happiness is a journey, not a destination."

I have found both those statements, in one form or another,
to be true. Also true is that, "Happiness is a choice, and not always an
easy one!" by Richard Bach

So if you need a little happiness in your life (and who
doesn't?) get a copy of this book and read it. The chapters are just the right
length to read while sitting in the Throne Room;-)
